TM1 gave me an idea. In this thread I will post a number, and the next person posts its square root. When someone reaches 1, they will make up a new number and begin again.

5,367,682

So if we round those digit to 4 decimal places thats nolonger the true square root.

To avoid these rounding errors we need to use caculus to run all the roots to 1 which
may in fact never reach 1.

Damn at school I was so obsessed with trying to understand the people around me I couldn't focus on the maths at all, kinda ended up either obsessing with how people work, or obsessing over music.

I'm studying calculus now though... and physics..

with the goal of taking part in the creation of a theory of everything, lets do it people, lets fix the gaps in the "string theory" and make it work!

Some very difficult concepts for me in terms of trying to visualise it as a whole, but I LOVE a challenge..

Whoops I've wandered, anyway.... Give me a week or two and I'll join in.
